1. Knitting - My aunt taught me to knit when I was young adult & I've mostly made stuffed animals & items you can felt because it covers up any mistakes you probably made! I got stuck when trying to work with 6 colors at once on bobbins & haven't touched a knitwear since.
2. I learned basic sewing in Home Economics class in 7th grade - made a corduroy vest that promptly fell apart in the washer b/c in my zeal to not have lots of bad looking fabric everywhere, I actually went back over the vest & trimmed all the seam allowance off! Lesson #1 learned.
3. I like to customize patterns to fit my larger dog, or be reversible, when the pattern doesn't cll for it - but I pretty much will keep ripping out & starting over until I figure out what I did wrong.
4. My favorite craft right now is buying old sweaters from garage sales - even ones w/ holes (you can fix the hole), felt them, & make cute dog sweaters for my specialty-blend dog who looks really cute in his 50 cent creations!
5. We also like making ribbon elastic dog collars b/c the're cute but the dog doesn't mind wearinh the ribbon collar.
